The Darkness #3

The cover of The Darkness #3 (Image, 1997) makes a striking impression: a silver-haired, horned figure clad in dark armor stands triumphant atop a fallen creature, gripping a long staff while massive black wings spread dramatically behind her against a smoldering amber sky — flanked by glowing yellow demonic beings closing in from either side. Cover pencils by Marc Silvestri with inks by Matt Banning deliver bold, dynamic linework that gives the whole scene a brooding, otherworldly weight. With Garth Ennis writing and Silvestri on interior art, this third installment of the series carries real momentum heading deeper into its dark mythology.
